March 2020 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix and Discussion

Thank you, Jim. The brush isn't technically the prototype for the Meetup brush. @PLAla has the prototype. This one was, however, the inspiration for the meetup brush. Same wood and similar distressing on top, but in a Chubby handle shape that accommodates a 30mm knot.

 

The '51 is a beaut for sure, Jeff. Awesome! Do you notice much of a difference from vintage Polish Wizamets to the modern St. Petes ones?

 

Thank you, Clint. A busy but productive week so far. Today will be a long one, but no dumpster fires on the horizon. I won't ask how your week is going, given the tax season...

 

Thank you, Jeff. The influence of @jluc is all-encompassing.

 

Thank you, Jim!

 

Congrats on the new brush, Jim. I saw those Petrol Heads on sale when I got a couple T2s. Didn't pull the trigger, but I'm glad to hear it is working well for you.

 

Thank you, Clint!

 

awesome shave and pic Jim..good morning..

 

ATT Focus

Tried a fresh a Voskhod and Derby in the Kronos this morning. First pass on the left side was with the Voskhod and the first pass on the right was with the Derby. Second pass was opposite of the first. Touched up a few areas with the Voskhod after the two passes.

The results.

The Voskhod is a noticeable sharper and smoother blade than the Derby but the Derby is not a bad blade. They both do a good job in the Kronos but the Russian steel just beats the Turkish steel. I can sleep better tonight knowing I have appeased the Cartel. My blade from yesterday apparently had higher miles than I thought.

ATT Focus is complete. I now have to figure out what to get out of the toy box next. Maybe I will get inspired from reading through the shaves today. Do I want to get the Dovo shavette out? I have a nice SE that came from the Canadian side of the border. The Rockwells are feeling neglected. The Gillettes and Gems are hiding out. Almost forgot about the Karve. To many toys but it is fun and we will not even talk about soap.

Y'all have a great day. Wet and raining in Alabama today.

 

fine shaves and pics Matthew..

Thank you, Patrick.

We actually don't have any here. Metric tonne of them where I grew up on the coast, though.

 

Gary, your pics have been stunning lately. Today is another example. The Raised Flat Bottom is awesome as well.

 

very cool Charlie..remodeling the man cave?..

 

thank you Jason,..

 

Enjoy your day off, Joe. Sounds like a relaxing shave to start the day.

WKRP! Yup, you're fast becoming our Poet Laureate, Charlie.

 

I bet that's even better with a little LSD.
